Today, let’s talk about how to transcribe on bass. In case you don’t know, transcribing on bass is just the process of figuring out the sound of something and then playing that thing on your bass.

Think of the implications of being able to figure things out for yourself though. No more hours of trawling through questionable tab sites. You could even write your own or correct the incorrect ones you find all over the place. You also wouldn’t have to ask someone to tell you the frets or show you how to play something you didn’t know.

The best part, is that you don’t just have to transcribe bass lines. You can transcribe anything you want. You like the sound of a guitar lick? Transcribe it and play it on your bass! Like a vocal melody from a song? Once you can transcribe, you can learn it and play it for yourself!

That’s exactly what I want to you be able to do after going through the process in this video. It’s one of the most useful skills any bass player can have.

The methods that I show you in the video though take things super slowly. Seriously - you don’t need to figure out everything at once. You only need to figure out one note at a time, and I’m sure you can do that.

By the way, I use Transcribe! all the time - it’s a great tool and I use it all the time so I’m happy to recommend it using my affiliate link above. Have some fun with it and let me know how you go.

Good luck with the lesson and happy transcribing!

Cheers,
